Ezekiel 44:29 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 44:29

They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and
the trespass offering
Which were typical of Christ; the meat offering, or rather bread offering, it being made of fine flour, was a type of Christ the bread of life; and the sin and trespass offerings pointed at his being made sin and a sacrifice for it; which the people and priests of the Lord in a spiritual sense eat, feed, and live upon by faith: and besides, as the priests under the law had a part in all these offerings, whereby they and their families were maintained, ( Leviticus 2:3 ) ( 6:29 ) ( 7:6 ) , so it is the will and ordination of Christ, that as those that ministered about holy things, and waited at the altar, should live of them, and partake with that, so they that preach the Gospel should live by it, ( 1 Corinthians 9:13 1 Corinthians 9:14 ) : and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs;
or, "every devoted thing" F19; that is, to holy uses, what the people willingly offer to support the interest of religion; signifying that the ministers of the word shall live upon the free contributions of the people.
